I cannot pick just one experience. I did achieve a personal goal
to climb the stairs at Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone and that was exhilarating! I loved the sheep experience, seeing many castles and many stops to experience the Atlantic Ocean, visiting Kylemore Abbey, and being able to see some of the views that my ancestors saw. This was a deep spiritual trip for me and I am still in awe two weeks after returning home. I appreciate the two guides on my trip including Lee and David who both provided insights and guidance along the way. I experienced a non-emergent illness on the last few days and Lee helped me navigate getting medication at a local pharmacy for which I am extremely grateful. I definitely recommend Irish Experience Tours as my entire experience from booking to being dropped off at my hotel on the final day was amazing! I am truly grateful.

I recently finished an amazing 11 day tour around Ireland with Lee, and I can honestly say it was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Lee was incredibly knowledgeable and brought Irish history to life in such an engaging and memorable way. I learned so much throughout the trip, from ancient landmarks to local traditions and historical events that I never knew before.
What really made the tour special were the stories Lee shared along the way. He had a way of making every place feel meaningful and connected to Ireland’s rich culture and history. His storytelling kept everyone entertained during long drives and made the whole experience feel personal and authentic.
The tour itself was well organized, the scenery was breathtaking, and every day brought something new to discover. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the real Ireland while learning from a passionate and entertaining guide. Thanks again, Lee, for an unforgettable 11 days!

Even though I was the only Filipino ?? in the group, I never once felt different or lonely ? Leigh made sure I felt included and that I truly enjoyed every moment of the trip ? I had so much fun!
Traveling from one location to another every day—packing and unpacking ? can be exhausting, but Leigh was incredibly helpful and always there to assist with our luggage ? I know he must have been tired too, but he never showed it ? Because of his support, I didn’t feel tired at all ?
He was always on time ⏰, very organized, and truly dedicated to making our trip smooth and enjoyable ? He showed us not only unique places but also incredibly beautiful spots all around Ireland ?✨
I highly, highly recommend Leigh as a tour guide ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He truly goes above and beyond ?
May God bless him always ? especially in his daily trips ?
Also grateful to have met 14 amazing people from America ?? what a wonderful group to travel with! ❤️
Thank you for such an unforgettable experience! ✨

He made sure we saw all the best sites, explained what we’d be seeing and pointed out fantastic spots for us to enjoy on our free time. He bent over backwards to make sure we had a good time. If I ever get to go back I will be requesting him as my guide and have told many others to do so as well. Lee is the best!
We had the best time Lee ensured we saw and experienced the best of Ireland and its people. Lee was so welcoming and friendly he couldn’t have been more helpful. We had such a great time together

Everyday we were greeted with his winning smile and very up beat attitude. It’s very evident from the get go that this is not just a job to Lee but a passion. He loves his country and wants you to fall in love with it too before you leave. So full of knowledge but knew how to make it relevant to Ireland’s past and present. He didn’t just rattle off dates and facts. We loved every minute of our tour - the itinerary was perfect setting a good pace but still some time on our own to enjoy the charming villages visited. Everyday was a new fun filled adventure with Lee always giving 100%. Can’t thank Lee enough - truly added so much more to our trip to the beautiful Emerald Isle!!☘️

So knowledgeable and accommodating. He was always making sure I found something to eat with my dietary restrictions and finding new places to take us to when the weather was not in our favor. It was my first time traveling alone but Lee made the experience feel as if I wasn’t alone. I would go to any country with him as a tour guide in an instant!

His knowledge, passion and love for his country truly comes through in our conversations and in the places he shares. Touring with him felt less like a formal experience and more like being shown around by a close friend or family member. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as our guide. If ever we return to Ireland, we would definitely request him as our tour guide.
Lee is the best tour guide ever. If you get lucky enough to have him as your guide you are in for a huge treat as well as an amazing adventure! Definately recommend him for any tour you might want!!

Lee Jones at Irish Experience Tours is the real deal. From the first stop, it was clear this wasn't a rehearsed script delivered to a crowd. Lee has a genuine gift for storytelling, the kind that pulls you in and connects the dots in ways you didn't expect. He brought Irish history to life without ever making it feel like a lecture, and he had a way of making every person in the group feel like the tour was meant specifically for them.
I came as a tourist. I left with a friend. That says everything.
If you're on the fence about a group tour, let Lee be the reason you go for it. You won't regret it.
Lee made our trip memorable
Lee has easy going style that brings the travel group together as friends

The small group tour is a fantastic way to get to know others you’re traveling with but also allows you to be able to stop and see things you would otherwise miss on those big group tours. The accommodations were wonderful and I’d recommend a castle stay if possible, which Irish Experience Tours were able to make happen for us. Now, it looks like it’s built into the cost of some of the tours. ? Ireland is easy to love-the scenery, the history, the weather (yes, even the rain!) but what really makes Ireland special, is the people and Lee, our tour guide is an exceptional one! His knowledge, story telling, patience, and humor are unparalleled. Thank you, Lee, for making Ireland feel like home for those 11 days. We appreciate you and hope to be back!

From the bus, to the hotels/B&B's, to the food recommendations, to the sites we saw - everything was amazing and I couldn't have asked for more. A massive shout-out to Lee for his driving skills and sharing his knowledge of Ireland's history with us - you made this tour and my holiday one of the best I've ever had. 6 months later and I'm still thinking about this tour and how much I want to go back to Ireland.

Lee truly went above and beyond—nothing ever felt like too much trouble. His great sense of humour kept things fun and relaxed, and the itinerary was perfectly planned, giving us a fantastic mix of sights and experiences.

He thoughtfully attends to every detail, making sure your accommodations are comfortable and that you always know what to expect throughout the tour. We never had to worry about a thing—Lee took care of it all.
His knowledge of Irish history is exceptional, and he brings it to life in a way that is both engaging and memorable. He allows plenty of time for photos, even sharing pictures from our stops, and goes out of his way to include special detours to unique sites of interest.
Lee’s warm, positive personality makes him a joy to travel with. He connects with each member of the group and even joins in on social moments along the way, creating a truly personal experience. One especially thoughtful touch was the Irish souvenir he gave us, handmade by his wife—it meant so much.
He also offers excellent dinner recommendations each evening, adding even more to the overall experience. This was truly one of the best trips we’ve ever had, and we will be recommending that everyone we know ask for Lee when touring Ireland.
Thank you, Lee!
Appreciatively,
Cherie and Ivan Henderson
